Polls Bug/Interesting Design Decision

[Joseph]

When you create a poll that has the "Only show results after voting" option then then the "Don't show results until poll expires" - once it expires, the people who didn't vote can't see the results.

Just thought we should look at that in case it's not an intended behaviour.

 ! You should be able to see the results after expiration even if they chose "don't show until vote."

Should, yes.  But this wasn't the case.

Case in point: the poll for voting someone off the island in the latest Palinola vote.

Hence the !, which represents the fact that he has committed the change to CVS

tsk tsk Joseph, I woulda thought you of all people would understand the "!"

[Joseph]

LOL I didn't even notice it - my bad  LOL

Ok - just as long as it was the intended behaviour

[Oldiesmann]

It's just working like it should - you don't want people to see the results unless they vote in the poll, so if you don't vote in the poll, you're never going to get to see the results

No, I changed that.... the line I quoted from the changelog says that I changed the behavior.

Well, it was doing what I thought it should have done...
